Hello everyone,
I am very messed up regarding my career. Due to the recession, I was working as a business development intern at a company named Weskill.

I am preparing for the GRE and looking for colleges out of India to give myself a new start.

Please guide me on what I should do next and what not. Like am I on the right track?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi all, we all know how messed up the market is right now. I currently have a work experience of 1.6 years,and I am thinking if I should go for a masters in CS abroad or not. Considering the market scenario abroad I am a bit afraid to take the big leap, but right now I can see the scenario is not much better in India as well, facing difficulty in switching also. I would like to concentrate on one line - masters or job switch. Please guide me.

Now I'm looking for job opportunities in management consulting, finance or business management. 
Would be a great help if anyone could refer.
Thanks!

Analyst

Hi, I am currently 22, graduated recently from a tier 2 institute and currently working at a US based startup earning 18lpa ( almost all base ) + rsu's, lately my family have been nagging me to do a postgrad, I am confused weather I should do an MBA, MS or not do a postgrad at all considering the years I will miss in workex. 

What should be my best course of action considering ROI in the next 10-15 years ?? 

P.S. Currently I am not sure what my interest lies in, but just try to excel at whatever comes my way.

What should be my next steps ?

I am from a tier 3 college, going to graduate in 2024. With all these layoffs, recession scene going on I am completely stressed out. My college started pretty late, I am in third year within just 1 year of offline college and 1 year of online. Didn't really get time to learn and explore initially, I haven't done much development neither LeetCode, I feel like I am effed now. 

What and how should I start getting a grip on things? I have done basic HTML, CSS, know python and basics of JS plus Java, C and C++. 

I really want some guidance on how to proceed ahead with learning development, I really want a job and get out of my toxic household.

Welcome to Consulting's Private Community

Graduated from NMIMS in 2023- BSc Finance. Interned at some marquee IB firms and startups. 

Working at an NBFC in an MD's office role- Strategy Consultant since then.

Having done multiple projects for the company, I now want to switch to a consulting company where I can have a more diversified set of projects. 

But the market being the way it is, I'm not able to find reasonably good opportunities on LinkedIn. 

How do I go about the whole thing then? Would be grateful for any suggestion or referrals.

Looking for some guidance

Consultant

So I left my job in Jan 2024 after 3.4 yoe.
I wish to switch my profile to HR, and therefore, I wish to pursue an MBA degree.
Now the problem starts:
my family is pressuring me that if I'm unable to convert any good colleges, how will I justify my gap year so I should take up a job.
I don't wish to take up a job since I want to focus entirely on CAT prep.
They are also pressurising me that if I'm unable to convert, then I will have to start from scratch in HR with a low salary and they wish to see me married within next 2-3 years so why would a nice guy marry a girl who is earning 25k-30k a month.
So I'm really stressed out. 
What should I do?
Take up a job and then prepare for entrance, or ignore them and just focus on prep, like what's the solution?
Everyone is talking about the problem, what's the solution?

External Audit

I'm an associate product developer with over 3 years of experience. I previously worked with Java, Spring Boot, and Docker but left due to a poor work culture. For the past 2 years, I've been with my current organization, but the technology stack here is outdated, and I was misled about working on Java. I don't see growth opportunities and feel disconnected from modern technologies. 

How can I prepare to switch to roles involving Java and Spring Boot?

Software Developer

Graduated from a Tier 1 MBA, got into a rando role very early on during placement (think Day0). Totally messed up job change during covid (pay reduction), and suffered more with family issues. I am probably earning a lot lesser than my average batchmate, and not at a good designation (or skills) either.
Trying to get back on track with my career via consulting or Category role in startups. Need advice on how to get there. Getting rejected by most consulting cos (even big4) and startups on online portals while applying.

I'm 2023 btech grad, I have selected in virtusa, LTIMindtree and dxc but none of them are giving response to full time. They are just delaying the process. 
I'm worried about my future, and confused what to do, so that I land a job. 
I have knowledge of core java, sql, basic dsa(leetcode 150+) and very basic project(that  don't come in mini project category). 

What to do? ... should I prepare dsa or do backend in java? ... or just wait for the on boarding

Challenges with Career transition

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hi,
I am a final year B.Tech student from Tier 1.5 college. Finding my way hard through SDE opportunities.
I was thinking of going for Product Roles (Management/Analyst/Consultant). I have good business acumen and worked in management, content creation fields in college societies, but how can I enter into Product roles. 

Please help me guide through what steps I should be taking regarding preparing my resume, LinkedIn profile, applying to off-campus opportunities(domestic/abroad).
Any inputs appreciated 🙏🙏

Please guide me for Product Roles

Product Manager

I've done my Btech in EC from NIT. Worked for 2Y as a dev in IT Services co. Then I did my MBA from one of the old IIMs. 
Got placed as a "Consultant" in one IT services co, where JD said the role is client facing and business centric. Have been working here for close to 2Y. Basically I'm part of an Agile project team, as another Dev/QA resource. I basically do QA for project releases and occasional SQL scripting. Tried internally to switch to a Project/BA role but this experience is hindering me. Outside it's even worse as I don't even get shortlisted.
I believe I have good skills to excel in Product/BA/Project roles. But not getting them as I don't have any prior experience. My confidence is very low now and my career seems to go nowhere.

The pay is also worse, 21.6LPA currently ( of which 17.6 is fixed). I'm not complaining and this money is a lot for most people. But it's not even close to what my juniors after 2 batches earn. 

The only upside in my job is no pressure and can work remotely most days.

What should I do ?
Shall I learn AI/ML and move to an Individual Contributor role ? How to get shortlisted for these after prep?

Any advice or leads would be helpful, TIA.

How should I spend the next 3 months so that I can get an offer easily when I pass out ?

Advice on Career Ahead

Growth Manager

Hello everyone,

 I'm 2020 graduate. Due to my low academic scores (below the eligibility criteria), I have been unable to get responses from recruiters. I initially thought about preparing for government exams, but that did not go too well. In the meantime, I have been doing freelance work while studying. However, I cannot count that as formal experience. 

Currently, I am applying for jobs - my portfolio is ready and I am trying to make some open source contributions. However, I have two major challenges in getting recruiter calls:

1. My 10th class academic score is low. 

2. There is a 3 year career gap after graduation.

I am unsure how to tackle these situations. Could you please suggest approaches to land a job given these circumstances?

Doston, I'm a 26 year old, run-of-the-mill MBA grad who has just been coasting through life until a very recent and intense encounter with the perils of modern life. 

Background brief: 
Academics : 8/5/8; MBA from NMIMS Mumbai
~2yrs of work ex in sales; have worked in financial sales, currently working in non-alco bev sales
  
I have very few hard skills and am not sure where to start. Still, I'm seduced by other lucrative jobs/profiles such as finance, PM, consulting, which feel inaccessible at this point. I've accepted that there's nothing I can do to change the past, but I'm seeking guidance on how to shape my career from this point forward. Looking forward to any advice about jobs, career planning, and even life. Thank you!

I need guidance on how to proceed and what recourses should I use. 
I don’t want to waste my degree as I feel I can do better than my previous job. 

Please help me on fighting my demons.
